The Greatest Truth

✨ اَللّٰهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ مِلْءَ السَّمٰـوٰتِ وَمِلْءَ الْأَرْضِ وَمِلْءَ مَا شِئْتَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ بَعْدُ ، أَهْلَ الثَّنَاءِ وَالْمَجْدِ ، أَحَقُّ مَا قَالَ الْعَبْدُ – وَكُلُّنَا لَكَ عَبْدٌ – لَا مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ ، وَلَا مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ ، وَلَا يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَدُّ.

Translation :

O Allah, Our Lord, to You Alone belongs all praise; praise which fills the heavens and the earth and which fills whatever You wish after that. You are Most worthy of praise and glory. The greatest truth the slave can utter is – and we are all Your slaves – there is none who can withhold what You give, and none can give what You withhold; and the wealth of the wealthy does not avail him from You.

Transliteration :

Allāhumma Rabbanā lakal- ḥamdu mil’a-s-samāwāti wa mil’al- arḍi wa mil’a mā shi’ta min shay’in baʿd, ahla-t-thanāi wal-majd, aḥaqqu mā qālal-ʿabdu – wa kullunā laka ʿabd – lā māniʿa li-mā aʿṭayta, wa lā muʿṭiya li-mā manaʿt, wa lā yanfaʿu dha-l-jaddi minka-l-jadd.

Hadith:

Abu Sa’id Khuḍrī (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) narrates: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would say [the above] after saying سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ (May Allah respond to the one who praises Him).” (Abū Dāwūd 847)
